Yang Baihu seemed to suddenly think of a suspicious point, so he hurriedly ordered the guards to call back the flag Ding Chunqiu. Yang Wenyuan asked, "After Lord Shicai Qianhu was called away by Shen Dudu, where did you lock this kid up?

Ding Chunqiu replied: "Yang Baihu, the little one followed the order of Lord Qianhu and imprisoned him in the T-shaped cell in the Imperial Prison, and until now, no one has come in to visit him. ”

Yang Wenyuan's face showed suspicion, and he asked again: "Are you really sure that he has never seen anyone?"

Ding Chunqiu said: "Lord Baihu, you know, what kind of place is the Imperial Prison of Anping Division in Beibei! How can ordinary people enter? Besides, without the instructions of Lord Qianhu, how dare the little thief let this little thief see outsiders!"

Yang Wenyuan said: "Is he being held in solitary confinement?"

Ding Chunqiu hesitated: "This ...... Lately, there have been a lot of prisoners in the T-cell, so I locked him up with the old man in the household. ”

Yang Wenyuan said angrily: "Confused! Why is such an important person not detained alone?!"

Ding Chunqiu immediately knelt down and hurriedly replied: "Little guilty! Little guilty! I thought that this kid was just a commoner, and he had no official position and no family background, so he only regarded him as an ordinary criminal. The little one really didn't know that this little thief was an important person, and I hope that the Lord of the Hundred Households will forgive his sins!"

Yang Wenyuan was still about to attack, but Sun Xun, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Wenyuan, don't blame Ding Datou for this, blame me for not making it clear at the time......"

Yang Wenyuan snorted, and said to Ding Chunqiu: "Ding Chunqiu, for the sake of Lord Qianhu, I will spare you this time, if you are lazy and derelict next time, see if I don't pick your skin!"

Nading Chunqiu was bluffed into kowtowing again and again, and smashing the ground soundly. Yang Wenyuan pointed at Xu Wuxian again and ordered: "You take him down first, remember, he is locked up alone!"

Ding Chunqiu hurriedly got up as if he had been pardoned, and then he realized that his back was already in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly pulled Xu Wuxian out of the door.

......

In the room, only Sun Xun and Yang Wenyuan were left. Yang Wenyuan bowed his hand to Sun Xun and said, "My lord, don't be too indulgent with these subordinates......

Sun Xun said: "Wen Yuan, I know your loyalty to me, however, Ding Datou has been following me for many years, and he has been following me since I entered the Bei'an Ping Division, and I also promoted him from the guard, the leader, all the way to the banner, you can rest assured, this person, he will not betray me...... I forgive him for not daring!"

Yang Wenyuan said: "It's okay for adults to rest assured, I'm worried, that household servant Qiu Mingli, he is not simple!"

Sun Xun laughed and said: "Wen Yuan is too worried, that old horseman, who discussed national politics in vain, dared to write a book to ridicule the tax law set by the Taizong Lord, which angered the saint, so that he was sent to prison." Now, he is just a dying man...... Besides, even if he has any ability, what does it have to do with the thief in front of him?"

Yang Wenyuan sighed: "My lord, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as we thought, there may be hidden secrets in it, but for a while, I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's going on!"

Sun Xun asked, "Do you think this thief's words are false? He doesn't know King Zhao at all?"

Yang Wenyuan said: "If he doesn't recognize King Zhao, how can ordinary people say such words as 'the Lord of the Divine King Pavilion, the third son of the Emperor, and the young Yan of the Li family', King Zhao is the third son of the Emperor, and he is the deputy head of the Divine King Pavilion, and everyone in the court knows it, but the word 'Young Yan' is the name of King Zhao's childhood, but this is a secret that few people know. Moreover, King Zhao's temperament has always been lonely and arrogant, how can he even look at a flat-headed grass man?......"

Sun Xun asked again, "So, is this person really King Zhao's subordinate?"

Yang Wenyuan said: "This ...... It's hard to say at the moment, if you just rely on that sentence, you can conclude that he is King Zhao's subordinate, and it will be far-fetched......"

Sun Xun said: "So, according to your meaning, what should this person do?"

Yang Wenyuan said: "For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to detain him temporarily, and don't use the punishment first." It is not difficult to determine the truth of his words, if he is really a subordinate of King Zhao, King Zhao will not sit idly by, and there will be news within a day, and if no one comes forward to save him after a day, then this person is deliberately teasing us, and when the time comes, we must give him some means......

Sun Xun said happily: "This plan is very good! Wenyuan is really my ovary! According to what you say, I will see ...... in a day."

After a pause, Sun Xun suddenly remembered something again, and said to Yang Wenyuan: "Wenyuan, do you know why Shen Huan urgently recruited me today? After talking for a long time, he finally came to the point, and he actually told me not to embarrass Qiu Mingli! It is ridiculous that he, a dignified and three-grade Tsing Yi Wei Governor, actually begged me for a mere five-grade household minister......

Yang Wenyuan showed a worried face, and said with a straight face: "My lord, Shen Dudu is a person, he is strict and dignified, he is usually happy and angry, he neither forms a party nor makes enemies in the court, he has never heard of anything wrong in his 20 years as an official, this person is very deep in the city, and it is better for my lord to be careful! I heard that King Zhao suddenly visited today and had a secret conversation with Shen Dudu for half a moment, maybe it has something to do with this matter!"

Sun Xun said angrily: "I'm angry when I talk about this! Nangong is silent, this guy has been getting more and more unpleasant recently! Relying on Shen Huan's support, he didn't take me seriously at all, and today he actually said that King Zhao was going to meet me in person, and when I arrived in a hurry, where is there still half a shadow of King Zhao?!"

Yang Wenyuan said: "My lord is angry! Nangong Qianhu, but Shen Dudu has a chess piece ear by his side! My lord doesn't have to take it to heart at all! What I'm worried about is that the thief we are detaining today has anything to do with this character? Today's all kinds of things are really hard to think about!"

......

On the thirtieth day of September in the 70th year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, in the T-shaped cell of the T-shaped prison of the Qingyi Weibei Anping Division of Chang'an City, Qiu Mingli lay on the wall with his eyes slightly closed, his eyebrows frowned, his expression was very painful, but a trace of stubbornness and arrogance was still on his lips. He sometimes wheezed and coughed a few times, but he never exhaled pain. At this moment, the door of the cell opened, and a man walked through the door, and the man was covered with a black robe, and on his head was a large black hood, the brim of which hung low, almost covering the upper part of his face.

The man in black walked silently, walked to Qiu Mingli's side, sat down slowly, lifted his hood, and revealed a heroic and fierce face, his face was full of beard and bright eyes, and at a glance he knew that he was a warrior who had been marching for many years. Qiu Mingli turned his head to look, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, and he called out in a low voice: "General Xue......"

The man in black held Qiu Mingli's hands and whispered, "My fourth son asked me to come and see Mr. Qiu......

Qiu Mingli bowed to the air and said: "The fourth prince is very gracious, there is no way to repay the old man in this life, only to be a cow and a horse in the next life...... cough cough ......" Before he finished speaking, Qiu Mingli's chest rose and fell violently, and a mouthful of blood spat out from one mouth.

Seeing this, the man in black was shocked and angry, and lost his voice: "These dogs! Mr. Qiu has only been locked up here for a few days, and he has been beaten like this......

Qiu Mingli hurriedly waved his hand to stop the man in black's words, and said, "Don't get in the way! Don't get in the way! Qiu, this old bone, can't die for a while...... Ahem......"

The man in black hurriedly said: "Mr. Qiu, since you were imprisoned, the fourth prince is anxious, but I really don't know where to start, does Mr. Qiu have a good plan to teach me?"

Qiu Mingli said: "Qiu touched the dragon and rebelled, knowing that the death penalty was inevitable, Lao Xue, you go back and tell the fourth prince, let him not make a move, Qiu has the heart of death, the fourth prince must not destroy his future because of old decay!"

The man in black couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, Mr. Qiu, why are you doing this!"

Qiu Mingli reluctantly sat up at this time, held the man in black tightly with a pair of trembling hands, and said with tears: "It's not a pity for Qiu to die, but when he was dying, he still had something to ask for, and he hoped for Xue...... I hope you will go back and tell the fourth son, please ask the prince to agree......"

The man in black said, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Mingli said in a deep voice: "I have an apprentice, and now he is also in this Tsing Yi Wei Prison, please ask the fourth prince to help him no matter what, and rescue him from here......"

The man in black hurriedly said: "Old Qiu! When is this, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to save others?! Besides, the fourth prince is now thinking about how to save you, and even you can't save him, how can he care about that irrelevant person?!"

Qiu Mingli said: "Otherwise, you just need to go back and tell the fourth prince like this......

Qiu Mingli asked the man in black to come over and whispered a few words in his ear......

The man in black said helplessly, "Okay, then Mr. Yiqiu! I'll go back." ”

With that, the man in black put back on his hood, left the cell, and hurried away......

......

On September 30, the 70th year of Kang Yuan, in the study of the Wei Wangfu in Chang'an City, a middle-aged man dressed in a sable dress was warming himself with a large brazier with dragon patterns and inlaid gold.

"Mr. Qiu really said that?!"

The man in black replied, "Exactly!"

Without thinking, the man in the Chinese costume took out a piece of jade from his waist, handed it to the man in black, and said, "In this case, you take my jade pendant and go to the Tsing Yi Weiti tomorrow morning!"

The man in black sang "No!", and immediately retreated, and suddenly the man in Chinese clothes behind him got up again and said, "Slow!"

The man in Chinese clothes said: "Don't wait until tomorrow, you go and mention someone to me!"

The man in black hesitated: "Your Highness, is it inappropriate to go to the edict late at night to raise people? Now that the chief officer of the Bei'an Ping Division will not be in the guard, I am afraid that the people below will not dare to release people without permission......

The man in the fancy clothes said gloomily: "You just go to Sun Xun's house and pull him out of the bed for me, I want to see if he is willing to let him go?!"

The man in black clasped his hands into fists and responded loudly: "Subordinates obey orders!"

......

Half an hour later, Yang Wenyuan, a hundred households of the Anping Division of the Tsing Yi Weibei Anping Division, ran into an ear room in the Health Department out of breath, and before he could sit down, he hurriedly asked: "My lord, I was urgently summoned late at night, what is the matter?"

Sun Xun, who was sitting at the top, walked to Yang Wenyuan's side with a bitter face and took out a jade pendant. Yang Wenyuan took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully in the light, only to see that the jade was crystal clear and transparent, and it was a piece of high-grade mutton fat white jade. The jade body is engraved with a pair of unicorns, holding each other head and tail, lifelike, the middle space of the two unicorn arms embracing, but engraved with an ancient seal character, Yang Wenyuan is quite talented, knowing that it is a "缜" word. This piece of jade pendant, not to mention the excellent material, is this ingenious engraving skills, which is also rare in the world. Yang Wenyuan blurted out: "King Wei's personal jade pendant!"

Sun Xun sighed: "Hey, it's this thing, I can't sleep late at night, and I have to call you......"

Yang Wenyuan said: "Xue Tao, the general of the Right Feather Lin Wei who is waiting in the hall, is he here on the orders of the King of Wei?"

Sun Xun said: "Yes"

Yang Wenyuan asked, "Why did they come here with such fanfare?"

Sun Xun said: "It's just to take someone out." ”

Yang Wenyuan asked, "Who?"

Sun Xun said: "It's the little thief we just locked in!"

Yang Wenyuan said curiously: "The King of Wei is so enthusiastic that he is trying to save a grass people?!"

Sun Xun: "You say, do you want to let this person go or not?"

Yang Wenyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "My lord, release people, release people quickly!"
